About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of self-control in faith using 1 Corinthians 9:25-26 as a reference.

Today, we’ll be in 1 Corinthians 9:25-26 talking about when it might be time to check your aim. “Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So, I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air.” 1 Corinthians 9:25–26 Ridgecrest exists to reach the lost, build the believer, and connect the people of God to the mission and purpose of God.
